I was going to have Jan complain about not getting a horse, but that's actually a pretty good plan and I can't see him arguing with it.

That would be a good pic of our battlefield - all the dead things for now

@Lyla She can Object, but I built the teams based on strengths and where people would be used best. So Strategy would trump "I like this person". that team has two strong melee and a melee/support with Sonya (possibly two good archers with Franz's npc's and builds a strong flank that will not collapse easily.

The battle hardened priest and Mage makes an interesting combination. I think they will rack up a rather high kill count just by themselves.

@Arthanus my 2 in 1 literally took a shit while typing my post - like had full battery & died anyway - probably went to the great beyond type of deal even though it's only a year old - serious issue most likely, causing me to have a panic attack nearly.. so all I have is my phone at the moment & that's not going to work.

I am going to have my other half look at it when he's back. If you are religious, pray for my 2 in 1 because, otherwise, yeah.

I'll keep you updated, so I am not leaving the RP yet. :[

@Arthanus Well, there's more going on than just liking Sonya... >.< She's not quite that shallow, lol.. but I feel like it doesn't matter what the reason or how sound it comes across, there's no point. So, I guess.. never mind.. I won't have her speak up so I don't waste everyone's time.

@Temperance Ouch I know that pain and yeah posting from phones sucks I totally understand. Lets hope for the best.

@Lyla I might have had that come off in a mean way, and that is not what I wanted to do. You can totally ask in character I have no objections, but from Silas' point of view he will see a rookie trying to question his strategy and fight with someone they had barley meet the night before. Granted I did give that team to Skull and Cuddle but that is because they could give legitimate reasons to work together, their characters already forming a sort of strategy in the RP the night before. If you can give me some good point there are NPC characters in both squads and could be swapped given valid points.

Hell yeah! Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.

@Arthanus

So should we just start falling into position, then? I can get started on a post.

By all means we can start heading into formation and have battle prepared posts :)

@Arthanus That's okay. SimpleD and I had an rp scene off site so we could wrap it up without holding the RP up. Basically it comes down to, Odessa promised to protect Sonya so she could use her magic to control the battlefield, like creating a fog, winds, etc (similar to the other two, but with wind and water mixed). Since there's an amount of trust between them already, Odessa would feel it best if she could personally ensure her safety. Its a mix of morale and practicality I guess.

However if Silas still doesn't like that reasoning, then Odessa would go with him and apologize to Sonya.

@Lyla now that part I didn't know. Silas might be swayed by sentinel stuff.

BTW I'm sorry if some of the scenes and interactions my character has with the soldiers seems pointless and random. I do it to show character development and glimpses of my Stefano's personality. I don't like including personality in a character sheet, I prefer to show not tell. Sorry just feel like I should explain myself.

The Assassins and a Monk, this'll be interesting.

@Arthanus How is combat for this battle going to play out? Will you be directing fights, or allow us to just go ham?

Kinda the thing I was going for if I didn't exactly explain it right. Sorry no Calvary because we would only have 5-6 which wouldn't really be able to make a big impact so the horses would be better used for supplies and carrying wounded.

@KaiserFranzI would say have given your npc's places but I'll leave that to you to place them within the other groups.


No cavalry? You crazy person! :P

As for Jehan's lance.

Squire Henri goes with Jehan.
Coutilier Charles, who is a slightly less heavily armed man-at-arms pretty much, could either stay with Jehan or go with one of the centre groups.
The three archers; imagine professional longbowmen of the hundred years war pretty much. I wouldn't really assign them to any special group. Rather I would see them begin to skrimish in front of the line before retreating behind it, and joining the melee once their arrows are gone.

Valets are not really supposed to fight, so would stay with the reserve to fight as a last resort.

Thoughts?

@hagroden for this fight SirSqueakalot91 and I will be dividing up the groups and sending waves of enemies at everyone then the members of those squads will be up to work together to deal with the Orcs. the NPC troops of the groups will be controlled by the squad leaders (first name per team) save Franz's he will still be able to control his NPC's where they land

@KaiserFranz Well given we would have like 6 Calvary all we would be able to pull off would be a small charge that would probably end with people getting pulled off their horses not having the mass needed to punch through lines in those numbers.
